While on vacation in Costa Rica I found that bananas that I received from a tree helped my health symptoms that I am experiencing within two days. (Been 80/10/10 for 2 years)Now I am in NY and have tried many different name brands and none of them seem to be helping.I met a Chiquita banana representative and he told me that all bananas that are shipped to the USA are put in refrigerators on the ships which may cause the bananas to lose nutrition, etc.I am willing to go almost anywhere in the world to get a sufficient source of bananas straight from a tree, whether it be tree ripened (which seems like impossible) or non-refrigerated. I want to be in a first world country but it seems like that's not possible either.Thanks for any advice and repliesSee More

Hey guys I know it sounds silly but first let me explain. I've had many of bananas here in NYC that will ripen just like all bananas whether they were organic or not. However when I smell the inside of the banana peel it doesn't smell like the sweet banana at all. It will taste just like a banana though. Maybe you can try it, just grab the inside of your banana peel after peeling and almost put the peel on your nose. Tell me what you smell. I believe its because of the cold in NYC and humidity that the bananas are like this. I've also went to Orlando FL, and only went to walmart to buy a box, and also same results. I am looking for a consist place where I can get sweet smelling bananas almost anywhere in the US. If you think you have a consistent source, please let me know as I am willing to travel for this!!See More
